Background: Concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is highly prevalent in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The optimal treatment strategy for CAD is a topic of debate. An initial conservative strategy for CAD in patients undergoing TAVI may be favorable as multiple studies have failed to show an evident beneficial effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on mortality after TAVI.

Background: Patients with severe aortic stenosis present frequently (∼50%) with concomitant obstructive coronary artery disease. Current guidelines recommend combined surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as the preferred treatment. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) represent a valid treatment alternative.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the outcomes of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
  • It assesses the impacts of timing and type of PCI on the safety and effectiveness of the TAVI procedure.
  • Important findings suggest that proper management of cardiac conditions prior to TAVI can lead to better overall patient outcomes and reduced complications.
